Summary 1

1. Balls of Steel doesn't have "attack player", "attack tower", "defend player", "defend tower" sounds. Prepare for battle is the same for every sound pack.
2. There should be no error with the Ms. Pudding Pack (except runes).
3. Flamboyant doesn't have "Hellbourne wins", the 0.0min sound and "Let's get it on" sounds (both).

6. retribution.ogg (same as payback.ogg)
7. transmutantstein_slain.ogg (found it somewhere, not needed anyway)
8. zorgath_slain.ogg(found it somewhere, not needed anyway)

Summary 2

• General
  
  1. The Rune entity files need a /{set}/, one for each rune.
  2. Delete nemesis.ogg & retribution.ogg (duplicated files).
  3. Need additional entity lines for attack player, attack tower, defend player, defend tower, transmutanstein, zorgath.
  4. Need additional sound files for ally_hero_under_attack and our_hero_under_attack
  
  
• Balls of Steel Announcer
  
  1. JSJ has do record the 4 missing files ("attack player", "attack tower", "defend player", "defend tower")
  2. Copy "prepare for battle" in resources0.s2z/shared/sounds/announcer/ballsofsteel
  
  
• Ms. Pudding Announcer
  
  1. Needs rune entity fix
  
  
• Flamboyant Announcer
  
  1. Record "Hellbourne wins", startgame / get_it_on in flamboyant style
  2. Copy prepare_for_battle" in resources0.s2z/shared/sounds/announcer/flamboyant
  
  

Suggestion

Though about this a bit. I would not use...

• attack_player
• attack_tower
• defend_player
• defend_tower
• ally_hero_under_attack
• our_hero_under_attack

...because it will drive ppl mad. Just think about the announcer spam if you use the new "attack a player" command.

So, Element, tell "your guys" to

• Add the missing flamboyant sounds (hellbourne_wins, get_it_on / startgame). get_it_on is the same as startgame + an additonal delay for unpausing.
• delete nemesis.ogg (rival.ogg) and retribution.ogg (payback.ogg)
• delete 11 - default.material (resources0.s2z/ui/common/models/balls)
• Fix the the rune entities
• + Ask SoundWizzard to record new prepare_for_battle.ogg's for both announcers. I don't know... maybe a techno version for ballsofsteel and a polka version for flamboyant. That's up to you .

.honmod fix

Note1: Added sound files are DEFAULT sounds, they have to be recorded by S2.
Note2: If you have more than one announcer keep in mind that you have to enable the proper fix before you apply your mods.

Announcer Fix - For Devs, all changes in one file (not working due to {/set/})

[[S2]ElementUser]

ooo a .honmod fix

:O

[[Teku]Yuhg]

i'll try it and report back, thanks for the fixes, hope s2 fix this soon.it's a minor change.

[[xKKT]Awan`Afuqya]

They work 100% but they are flawed by design...
You'll hear the rune sounds BUT only the sound of the fix you applied.

Example: You have "ballsofsteel" but a player with "flamboyant" picks up a rune
-> You hear the "ballsofsteel" rune sound.

"touchsound" has to accept dynamic paths and it'll work (with /{set}/). Go go S2!

[[S2]ElementUser]

I don't know their priority on this (99% chance it's low priority since I haven't heard back from them yet).

I hope that the bug will be fixed soon though since you already provided the .honmods

[[Teku]Yuhg]

yup, they work, can i ask if there's a way that in the ballsofsteel announcer could use the "it's time for an ass whoping"(don't know how it's correctly writen, english is not my native xd)?

Mmh, now I'm confused. This should even work without the .honmod fix.

The file you want is /shared/sounds/announcer/ballsofsteel/startgame.wav ("It's time for an ass whooping")

get_it_on     /shared/sounds/announcer/{set}/startgame.wav

Are you sure that this doesn't work? I can't test it because I never bought an announcer pack... I'm one of the cheap dudes using mods for this stuff (or get rid of it, to be exact).

TBH, the code itself is confusing ->

start_game    /shared/sounds/announcer/{set}/prepare_for_battle.wav (0.0min sound)
get_it_on     /shared/sounds/announcer/{set}/startgame.wav (selection screen)
unpausing    /shared/sounds/announcer/{set}/get_it_on.wav (unpausing)

[[E]Evil_Andrex]

Hopefully they take on this fix soon, nice job.

[[S2]ElementUser]

Emailed them the change - sorry it was a bit late, gameplay fixes are more important than cosmetic ones

[[xKKT]Awan`Afuqya]

Over 6 months :-)

HoN 3.0 will fix it.

[[S2]ElementUser]

Sorries, I don't deal with this kind of stuff

[[xKKT]Awan`Afuqya]

Hi Element, I have a question .
Is anybody dealing with this or should I update the .honmods?

[[S2]ElementUser]

I'll put it in the internal bug tracker, still no ETA though sorry. I don't know who deals with this kind of stuff in particular.

If you can update the mods and let me know when they are updated (by making a new post in this thread saying so), then I'll do my best to try and get it done as fast as possible by bugging people!

EDIT: Our bug tracker has moved recently and thus, a lot of the older bug reports were not ported over to the new system, which is why I just filed it in today in the new system. This thread was in the old one but it didn't get ported over.

[[xKKT]Awan`Afuqya]

Ok then. I updated the "fixes" and I saw that you guys added the resources0.s2z\stringtables\client_sounds.str stuff. (Zorgath, Transmutanstein)

Well, fixit fixit fixit .

[[S2]ElementUser]

I'll bump it in the tracker again

[[S2]ElementUser]

Rejecting because of the lack of benefits yielded in conjunction with the difficulty of implementing this in a way that does not impair future additions/modifications.

I'm really sorry Awan
